Re: DivX to iPod?
A few other free options for converting DivX to iPod on the mac are Mpeg StreamClip (export to mp4 for iTunes) or QT Sync (export to iPod). They all rely on QuickTime so you have to install Perian to make them recognize DivX, it also means that it's on the slow side and quality isn't always that gre...

One thing about joining multi-disc movies using DTOX as per the guide -- as far as I can see you can't create a single title that is larger than 9GB, so it's not possible for example to join any of the Lord of the Rings super-extended editions into single titles without a bit of recompression. It m...

Nicely done, but if I may add a suggestion: in my opinion it's important that DVD2OneX doesn't recompress the movie before you pass it on to HandBrake, to avoid losing quality. In your example this is no problem since a movie only rip stays under 4.36 GB, but most movies will pass this limit and by ...

iSquint is for free too, it uses the same engine as VisualHub, but only does mp4 conversion. It's meant for iPod conversion, but you can use it for other devices too. Checking optimize for TV and h264 should work fine for a PS3. If you want to have a higher resolution than 640 px wide, you can chang...

You can seemlessly join two titles with DVD2OneX, they can come from one disk or several disks. You always have to decrypt them with MacTheRipper first. Just make sure you manually set the output size big enough so that DVD2OneX doesn't recompress (it's set to single layer DVD by default). Let DVD2O...

Easy way: use PodTube Free way: copy the URL of the video you're watching, open Mpeg StreamClip, choose 'open URL' and paste the URL, click 'open as streamed file' and 'download'. This will download the .flv video file to your hard disk, you can convert that to iPod format with iSquint [or with Quic...

If you still want to do this, you can open your file in QuickTime Pro and go to Movie properties. Delete the audio track you don't want to use and save as a self-contained movie, you can use that with Toast. If you don't have QuickTime Pro, you can use QT Sync to remove one of the audio tracks and s...

First of all, you can't compare a program like DVD Fab to HandBrake. If you want DVD copy and DVD shrink applications for the mac, you can use programs like Toast or DVD2OneX (if you decrypt the DVD with MacTheRipper first). If you make a movie only copy with those programs and the main feature is b...

You can use DVD2OneX in 'movie only or join multiple titles' mode (click the ++ button to join seemlessly) to create a new video_ts folder with the two titles joined. DVD2OneX works on a decrypted DVD, so mount it with FairMount or rip with MacTheRipper first. You can use the new video_ts folder wit...

HandBrake is focused on DVD and mpeg2 sources. If you want to convert other files (especially .mkv) to mpeg4 you'll get the best results with VisualHub. FFmpegX can do some mkv files too, but has trouble with HD mkv files. If you're looking for a free program, try iSquint, but mkv support is not so ...

Keep in mind that looking on a big plasma screen and being picky about image quality you will always notice some difference.

If you want to be able to precisely select a scene from a DVD, you can use Mpeg StreamClip (free, but it needs the mpeg2 component for QuickTime). You can export to DV to use the clips in iMovie to edit them any way you want. If you don't want to lose any quality, choose 'save as' to have a .vob fil...
